This swelling of interest in “motion comics” is really interesting to me. Fad or not, and irrespective of the debate over whether motion comics are actually comics (see this excellent post on the subject), the demand we’re seeing for these works points up our continued interest in comic-derived media in a variety of flavors. I’m glad to see these developments, and I think more are on the way, especially as interactive designers really start to look at putting users in motion along with their comics. We’ve got a few ideas there…
